One thing I like a lot better in the beta compared to the alpha is that if you select the hard difficulty for missions, the enemies are not simply pumped with more health points like before. A good challenge that I enjoyed though three missions.

If anyone wants to play it's KrazeeKeith on PSN. I don't have a mic though. I could probably hook up my cellphone mic actually...hmmm. The problem is I have PX5 headphones and I bought them originally for the 360 and I can't seem to get a mic to work in them for the PS4. I tried an adapter but it didn't work. <shrug>

I played a bit and hit level 3, not impressed with the core gameplay, but I want to play with a fireteam before I make the final call. I wasn't impressed with FF14 at first either until I actually played it with others.

Guess they really want people to try this out, I got an email from Sony as well with more beta codes even though I already got mine from Bungie. I have no need for them so, here they are for anyone that still wants one:

Travel To Mars This Weekend In Destiny Beta
by Ben Reeves on July 18, 2014 at 09:03 PM

Bungie's beta for Destiny just launched, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. This weekend beta players will be able to jump into a new Iron Banner event that will take them to Mars and beyond.

On Saturday at 2pm PST a new Iron Banner event will take place for only two hours. This event includes two new maps, which will take players back to Rusted Lands from the alpha and to Mars for the first time. Iron Banner is the only way players will be able to see these maps in the Beta. Players who do well in this new competitive adventure will have an opportunity to earn rare new loot.

In addition to the Iron Banner event, the Destiny Companion is now available for download on iOS and Android, and app users will be able to inspect and manage their Guardian right from their phone.

This won’t be the only opportunity to experience something new in the Destiny's Beta, so stay tuned to Bungie's website for more information. Destiny hits PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 on September 9.

The graphics are great, the sound is good. It's just too much like borderlands for me, I'm not a borderlands guy. Too repetitive, picking up loot doesn't do much for me. I really like seeing the direction current gen games are going in terms of the graphics etc though. Looks great on my 1080p plasma.

I wonder...with Halos MP taking such a priority and the thing today being PVP oriented...might Destiny be more MP focused than SP/coop focused? Might be why you level so quickly too. I'm still thinking the campaign clocks in at about 20 hours.
